More than 50 new high wage technology engineering positions will be created as a result of the announcement. New hires will be tasked with solving complex interconnection problems between multiple products associated to cabling, hardware, software, and operational procedures.

The TISC will also be known as the “Col. John T. Carney Center of Excellence” in honor of John T. Carney, whom lead the first combat controller team during Desert Storm I.

This scenario often results in equipment support and employment issues,” stated Chad Vuyovich, Director of AFSOC Programs for MAG Aerospace.
